A better understanding of the clinical relevance of delayed gastric emptying (e.g. in diabetes) requires a simple, easily accessible and inexpensive method for measuring it. Two "new" methods for measuring gastric emptying of liquids (the paracetamol absorption test and the 13C-acetate breath test) are compared with the gold standard (gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES)).
The three techniques were used simultaneously in 10 healthy subjects. A gastric emptying time-retention curve was drawn for each technique and the results were compared at the 75%, 50% and 25% retention quartiles.
Agreement was found between the paracetamol absorption test and GES (p=0.95; Hotelling's T 2 test). Using the Wagner-Nelson one compartment correction produced a retention curve for the 13C-acetate breath test statistically significantly below GES (p<0.01).
In healthy subjects, the paracetamol absorption test produced results comparable to those of liquid GES, but not to the results of the 13C-acetate breath test.
要更好地理解胃排空延迟(如在糖尿病中)的临床相关性,需要一种简单、易于获取且成本低廉的测量方法。将两种测量液体胃排空的“新”方法(对乙酰氨基酚吸收试验和13C - 乙酸呼气试验)与金标准(胃排空闪烁扫描术(GES))进行比较。
在10名健康受试者中同时使用这三种技术。为每种技术绘制胃排空时间 - 潴留曲线,并在潴留四分位数的75%、50%和25%处比较结果。
对乙酰氨基酚吸收试验与GES之间存在一致性(p = 0.95;霍特林T²检验)。使用瓦格纳 - 尼尔森单室校正法得出的13C - 乙酸呼气试验的潴留曲线在统计学上显著低于GES(p < 0.01)。
在健康受试者中,对乙酰氨基酚吸收试验的结果与液体GES的结果相当,但与13C - 乙酸呼气试验的结果不同。
